Modern Medical Speculations

Modern Medical Opinion Speculates that Washington Died of Acute Laryngitis.

If George Washington had access to a practitioner using the traditional Chinese medicine of that era he would probably have been diagnosed with a wind heat invasion. Instead of being bled by the pint and thus weakened, our first President would probably have been given Gan Mao Ling Wan or Chuan Xin Lian, and lived a much longer life, maybe even getting on the hundred rather than the one dollar bill.
